State secretly retaining blood from newborns
'Can currently use the DNA for any reason, without informed consent from parents'
A lawsuit has been filed by the Institute for Justice over a New Jersey state program that has been obtaining, and secretly retaining, blood from newborns.
The IJ explained it is representing a number of parents in the case.
It's because right now, “The state can currently use the DNA from the blood samples for any reason, without informed consent from parents.”
The case charges that state law in New Jersey demands that when babies are born, blood be taken and tested for various diseases, similar to other states.
